About what it is - a violation of intraventricular conduction of the heart - today more and more patients are learning. The fact is that this discord in the work of the cardiovascular system is considered one of the most common.
Violation of intraventricular conduction of the heart - is it dangerous?
This diagnosis is made in the event that there are obstacles to the passage of a nerve impulse through the system of the heart muscle. Violation of intraventricular conduction - a pathological deviation, which is caused by a violation of the order of cardiac contractions. The latter arise as a result of the disorder of the processes of automatism, contractility, conductivity, excitability.
To understand what is a violation of conduction of the heart, it is not bad to know the basic principles of the implementation of this process. Electrical signals appear in the sinoatrial nodes and pass through all the structures of the heart muscle. First, the excitation reaches the atria, after - the signal reaches the ventricles. This process provides an effective transfer of blood from the heart to the aorta.
A heart rhythm of 60-80 cuts per minute is considered normal. If the impulse is delayed somewhere, the heart is knocked down from the rhythm. Against this background blockade of the heart muscle can develop.
The real danger is the lack of conduction of the ventricles of the heart, but not a violation of the process. More precisely, this phenomenon is considered an occasion to visit a cardiologist. But if there is a violation of the heart rate and all the necessary measures are taken, nothing terrible will happen.
Depending on the strength of the impulse being transmitted, there are complete and incomplete blockades. The latter can be observed even in children with an open oval window in the heart. A complete blockade usually develops against the background of cardiovascular diseases.
The causes of cardiac arrhythmias and conduction
Cardiologists identify three main groups of causes:
- Organic - those that are caused by a change in the structure of the conducting system. Very often such changes lead to heart attacks , cardiosclerosis, myocarditis, angina pectoris and other ischemic diseases. It also happens that heart defects can develop after surgery.
- Functional causes are characterized by changes in the operating principles of the conducting system. The pathologies of the cardiovascular system are absent. When the balance is broken, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems begin to interact incorrectly. The work of the entire CAS is disrupted.
- The last group is medicinal causes. They can be observed when taking certain medications that affect the heart rhythm. Simply put, drugs have a detrimental effect on the work of the muscle. Disturbances caused by medicinal causes are more acute and difficult to treat.
Symptoms of violation of intraventricular conduction of the heart
Usually the violation of intraventricular conduction of the heart makes itself felt with the help of such signs as:
- cardiopalmus;
- heart pain of stenocardia;
- dizziness;
- dyspnea;
- a feeling of sinking heart;
- anxiety, anxiety;
- sudden changes in mood;
- memory losses;
- sensation of weakness;
- faint .
Treatment of violation of intraventricular conduction of the heart
If conductivity is not completely impaired, the main goal of therapy should be to identify and eliminate the cause of the problem. In almost all cases, patients are prescribed cardiac glycosides.
In the treatment of complete conduction disturbance, it will not be easy to do without an artificial pacemaker.
